    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Cool, I still have a Prather Lil' Tony unfinished hanging on the wall. There were several guys at my old field that raced Quickies and Run What You Brung airplanes. At our field you could fly around yourself so they'd practice there all the time. Our field was too small to hold a race for...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That sounds like fun. We've got a lot of foamie jet guys at the club that talk speed all the time. I love to take my little scratch built racer and blow by them like they're parked. Sounds like your Rifle would do that to me. ;) Go fast, turn left.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    The worst part is that our club just started doing this in the last year. I spent a good deal of time tonight writing a carefully worded email to the club president and vice-president explaining the situation to them and telling them that the vibe of the club is turning bad. It's getting so bad...

    Sport Thanks to all the builders here.

    Building to me is a great way to relax and take your mind off work, and everything else. Plus you have something that's yours. ARF's a great, but showing up at the field with something you built is awesome.

    Top Flight P-47 ARF

    That would be nice wouldn't it. Probably not going to happen, buy hey, it's nice to think so.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    We have a North South and an East West runway. He said that if your flying from the North South runway you can't fly over the East West runway at all. I was the only one flying so I wasn't interfering with anyone else. If there was a lot of traffic I could see the reasoning, but I checked and...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    At the field today for the first time since October. Great first flight, but as soon as I landed the Safety Nazi came over and chewed me out for breaking a supposed new rule that was passed at the last meeting. I was at that meeting and we did no such thing. Man I was hot!

    number of flips...

    Bunky you must have owned a Byron P51 with a Quadra 50 and the belt reduction 4 bladed prop. I think several of us flipped one of those that many times at my old club years ago. ;)

    number of flips...

    I ran mine dry of fuel for years and never had an issue, but the first start of the day took a lot more flips since your refilling the lines. I did it because I keep my airplanes in my family room and I didn't want any fuel or the smell of it in the house. One day I was plugging one in to charge...

    number of flips...

    It all depends on if I remember to turn on the ignition or not. ;) On my 3 DA50's are about the same. First start of the day 6 or so on the choke till it pops than 3 or 4 with it off. They usually start on the first flip the rest of the day. My GP61 most of the time wont pop on the choke so...

    Take all the space you need. I think I can speak for a lot of people and say it's very interesting to see something a little outside the box.:way_to_go:

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Just to also jump on the DA bandwagon I had a Yak with a DA50 hit vertical going pretty damn fast. One of those horrible thuds you can almost feel. It turned the tuned pipe into an accordion and smashed the header flat on the cylinder fins, but didn't break a thing on the engine. I sent it in to...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I've started building the new wing tips. I first cut the old tip off of one, so I could get the outline of the tip of the wing. Next I broke out my drafting program, Pencil 2.1, and drew up a design for a new tip. Tonight I cut out some of the parts with my laser cutter, (Read that as scroll saw...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Does it sound anything like a fan with most of a water pump shaft coming off at about 7000rpm and trying to go through the hood? Cause that I've heard.
